Free agent Etan Thomas is reportedly "strongly considering" playing in Spain next season.

Well, that's not exactly a promising sign for labor negotiations. Thomas has been integral in the (limited) talks, and his agent said that Thomas doesn't believe the lockout will end this season. As the Vice President of the Player's Association, his departure abroad could be a harbinger of a lengthy lockout. Thu, Jul 21, 2011 07:33:00 PM

Etan Thomas didn't travel with the Hawks to Toronto for Wednesday's game due to being snowed in at his home.

He must have an incredibly steep and ice-covered driveway, or you would think the Hawks would have had him shoveled out. Then again, it's just Etan Thomas, so they may not have thought it was worth the hassle. Wed, Jan 12, 2011 10:44:00 PM

Shelvin Mack underwent successful shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and he is expected to make a full recovery in 3-4 months.

Mack owns career-averages of 5.4 points and 2.8 assists on 41.4 percent shooting from the field. He should be ready to go by the start of next year's training camp, but as the third-string point guard in Atlanta, it'll take more than a few injuries for him to gain any sort of relevancy in fantasy leagues. Obviously he's not someone to target on draft day in standard leagues.

Kyle Korver (ankle, elbow) remains hopeful that he will be ready in time for training camp.

"I’m doing OK," Korver said. "Both ankle and elbow are progressing fine. I’m definitely hopeful that they will be ready to go by camp." Korver had surgery on his right elbow and his right ankle, but all signs point to him being ready to start the season. He posted averages of 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.9 3-pointers in 75 appearances last season, and he will once again be an elite option for any owner in need of 3-pointers.

Thabo Sefolosha (ankle) said he's progressing in his rehab, but is unsure of exactly when he'll be back on the court.

Sefolosha said he's feeling better after undergoing surgery on his broken right fibula that he suffered in an April altercation with police in New York City, but still doesn't have a timetable. "I am doing better every day," Sefolosha said. "The leg and ankle are feeling good but it is too early to say exactly when I’ll be back on the court." There is a chance that Sefolosha ends up as Atlanta's starting small forward with DeMarre Carroll gone, but he's still more of a defensive specialist and isn't worth a roster spot in standard fantasy leagues.

He was having another solid game before the injury, scoring six points with five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes. Taveres has a 7'9" wingspan and the Hawks will certainly be hoping they have the next Rudy Gobert on their hands. Of course, Taveres has a lot to prove.
